Inspect Air Filter/Auto Drain
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected.
The combination air filter with automatic
drain unit (Figure 4-15, A) located inside the
left endframe, should be inspected on a weekly
basis.
A visible coating of dirt or condensate on the
filter element surface or excessive pressure drop
is an indication that cleaning is necessary.
For instructions within this chapter on cleaning
the air filter/auto drain, refer to the Semi-Annual
PM section, Clean Air Filter/Auto Drain
procedure.

pressures helps keep the machine operating at
peak efficiency.
